Did you know: Gray squirrels use deception to protect their food caches... and they put on quite the show ! When a squirrel knows they're being watched, they'll pretend to bury a nut — fully digging a hole, mock-pushing a non-existent nut in, even covering it with soil and leaves — all while keeping the prized nut hidden in their mouth or armpit. They're so convincing that even when you’re watching for it... it can be hard to tell when a squirrel is "faking it". This is a form of tactical deception, a skill once thought exclusive to primates. #NuttyFacts
